I make a percolator of coffee every morning (and, yes I’ve sort of mastered how to make 4 cups just for me and my hubby) but I often have leftover. And, who am I to throw anything away…

So, what I do is pour the leftover coffee into ice cube trays and freeze it. I use them in my morning smoothie but I’ve also used them to make the best iced coffee!

Today, I wanted to see what sweetened coconut milk would taste like so I took a can of full-fat coconut milk, added about 1/4 cup maple syrup and cooked it down for a bit until it was a bit thick.

Then I put some of the coffee ice cubes into a glass, added some cooled off leftover coffee…

…and added some of the sweetened coconut milk. It clumped up a bit (I think it was because the fat congealed when it hit the cold ice – but it was still yummy). I think I’ll try it in hot coffee and see how that works.

Or how about adding one ice cube to a shot glass and topping it off with a shot of Baileys??

Super yummy!!

And the best part is, coffee + alcohol = a really good time!

Happy summer peeps!
